This weekHair Cuttery, the largest family owned and operated chain of hair salons in the country, more than doubled its goal of reaching 25,000 women in need through its May Share-a-Haircut program. A total of 54,000 certificates were donated to women living in domestic violence shelters nationwide.

Just in time for Mother’s Day, for every adult client who purchased a haircut on May 5-6, a free haircut certificate was donated to a victim of domestic violence in their community. To reach those in need, Hair Cuttery teamed up with The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), the leading voice for domestic violence victims and their advocates. NNEDV distributed the free haircut certificates to the state and local coalitions within their network.

“We had a fantastic turnout for our May Share-a-Haircut program, more than doubling our goal to reach thousands of local women in need,” said Dennis Ratner, Founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. “With the support of NNEDV, we were able to help women on their journey to rebuild their lives by igniting self-confidence."

For the last 15 years, Hair Cuttery salons nationwide have participated in the annual August Share-a-Haircut program, where for every child’s haircut purchased, one in turn is donated to a disadvantaged child in the community. The Share-a-Haircut program has reached more than 825,000 individuals by inspiring a fresh outlook and highlighting the importance of giving back.
